Turkey's Heat: Between Concrete Castles and the Bosphorus

The article discusses the extreme summer heat in Turkey, particularly in Istanbul, highlighting the contrast between the cooler areas near the Bosporus and the heat-trapping concrete buildings in the suburbs. It notes that while some residents escape to coastal vacation homes, many in the densely populated urban areas suffer from high temperatures. The article mentions the suspended green space projects under former Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu due to his arrest and the subsequent slowdown in city administration. It also addresses the cultural adaptation to summer heat in Turkey, including school closures and reduced public services during the hottest months. While there are no reported major wildfires, water shortages are becoming more noticeable due to climate change effects.
